You may have already effectively brought your residents up to speed on the gym equipment at your New Year’s Resolution Gym Training event. You may have also brought in a personal trainer to show them proper use and techniques.

Geocaching is the world’s largest scavenger hunt – but it can also be adapted for your community’s property.

So we found a great way to get people to get to know each other! Kristi Dingess found this great template for us, where residents can use BINGO to get to know their neighbors. With this version of BINGO, however, there is no one at the front of the room reading out ping pong balls. Instead, residents get a card with a list of traits and interests, and then try to find other residents who have those specific traits. Just like in BINGO, they try to fill in squares to form lines up and down, left and right, or diagonally. For example, if a resident finds a neighbor who is a vegetarian, they can put...
